Dave Brown ran his Chevy right on the Dial In. But Jim Verga was just too tough on the lights all day to be stopped. Jim left Dave sitting at the line by a .030 difference. It was enough to win by .007 . Lorenzo used a perfect light in the third place runoff. Dan could not hold his 57 Plymouth back and red lit after Lorenzo left perfect.

Quin Barnes looked good with 2 cars in the Semi's. But poor lights did him in on both races. Ray Koma once again used others misfortunes { Red Lights } carry him to the win. Lorenzo Frietze was on the bulb in the middle rounds. This is the second week in a row he had 2 perfect lights.

Jim breezed through the field with a consistent fast car and hitting good lights. Dan nipped him on the lights in the final, but Jim out horsepowered him to the stripe. The top 2 qualifying cars left the bracket early. Pat having problems with traction. Tommy leaving early with a Red Bulb.

Quin ran consistent times with his Yellow Yenko. All his wins were with holeshot victories taking out quicker cars every round. Quin saved his best for last and cut an 003 light in the finals for the win. Brian McGinnett took second after finding another tenth in his car after qualifying. Jim Verga ran a .709, fast ET of the meet. His luck changed when his car launched in the glue pit. He scrambled to get his car back for the next round but lacked it's orginal speed.

We are still Drag Racing at NESCR. I have just been lazy about posting here. But with fall quickly approaching, we will be starting the season soon. We are going back to running 2, 10 week points Series. One in the fall of 2017 and the other the first 3 months of 2018. Points will based on Car and Driver with one point for a win. We also will be bringing back the Snowtown Showdown and the Heads-up Street Car Top 10. The Top 10 list will kick off with a qualifying and bracket show down to start the list.

The 2018 season is now in full swing with colder weather. We are racing Sundays again at NESCR. I will try to post results here when I can. But you can find photos of the winners, results, race schedule on Facebook at North East Drag Raceway.
